Bill Clinton just made a lot of trouble for Loretta Lynch: Republicans now calling on attorney general to step down after meeting on private jet

As if anymore fuel needed to be added to the conservative fire that the Obama administration is simply unable to conduct an impartial investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of private servers and emails while secretary of state, her husband decided to hold an impromptu meeting with the chief prosecutor in the investigation this week.

On Monday, Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch had what has been described as a chance meeting at the Phoenix Airport, where the former president allegedly held back his private jet on the tarmac to wait to board Lynch’s government plane to hold a 30-minute meeting that was described by Lynch as “primarily social.” More from CBS News:

An aide to Bill Clinton confirmed to CBS News that the meeting wasn’t planned in advance: President Clinton saw the attorney general on the tarmac and wanted to say hello, so he boarded her plane to talk.

*
And of course, Republicans in Congress were quick to jump on news of the meeting to again pressure Lynch to appoint a special counsel to investigate the use of email and private serves at the State Department during Clinton’s tenure.

I detest Bill Clinton. I have for decades since he showed what a totally moral bankrupt he was by making his political bones on the backs of the poor, women, and minorities. He is pure scum. And like water sinking to its own level, he found a woman who was as self-serving, unethical, devoid of integrity, and crooked as he is.

... and HRC must "stand by her man" no matter how many affairs he has/had.

They have a symbiotic mutualistic relationship. One cannot survive without the other, and the ambition and greed of one feeds off of the ambition and greed of the other.

maybe she pitied him and wanted to get him off the tarmac. Wait, isn't that what his Secret Service detail is for? Keep him off the street? They are not doing a bang-up job of that.

She did not stand her ground and say that it was not appropriate for her to meet with him. Having the courage of your convictions goes a long way. She fucked up.

an 'accident'. It's like during the first debate I posted a picture of Shills secretly meeting with her lackeys in a hallway during a potty break. They never showed one minute's embarrassment for being such low-rent cheats. Nor was there anything said except that they didn't know there was a picture. No shame at all. They are unabashedly dishonest and self-serving.

I hope the Repubs started raising Hell over this. They've got a legitimate gripe for a change.

within 2 or 3 seconds. Add a question about grandchildren and sports............... I can be done in around 20 seconds.

30 minutes seems a long time for small talk.

Edit:

So, yeah I'm coming round to the idea that that ultimate scumbag, WJC, deliberately compromised the AG. WTF was she thinking? Unless the whole Dem Establishment is in on it?

Ye Gods!

Her and Obama were looking for a way out.

Either that, or sweet old Bill just pulled a fast one--and I'll guarandamntee you that if he did, and Mr. Obama's smart new lady AG screwed up, you're gonna know it pretty soon, because he'll be more pissed off than anybody.

If you see not a hair on his head or hear a peep from him until next week, you should wonder if Bill Clinton just punkd our President. That is the kind of shit that makes you want to throw a good hard right punch right in the guy's chops. Asshole!

In April, President Obama told Fox News host Chris Wallace that he can "guarantee" that he would not interfere with the FBI's investigation. "I do not talk to the Attorney General about pending investigations," he said. "I do not talk to FBI directors about pending investigations. We have a strict line, and always have maintained it."

Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine took advantage of the state’s lax gift laws to receive an $18,000 Caribbean vacation, $5,500 in clothes and a trip to watch George Mason University play in the NCAA basketball Final Four during his years as lieutenant governor and governor, according to disclosures he filed.

Now a leading contender to be Hillary Clinton’s running mate, Kaine reported more than $160,000 in gifts from 2001 to 2009, mostly for travel to and from political events and conferences, according to disclosures compiled by the Virginia Public Access Project. The givers included political supporters, a drug company that soon after bought a facility in Virginia, and Dominion, the state’s biggest provider of electricity.

While legal under Virginia’s unusually permissive ethics rules, the gifts could become attack-ad fodder after similar presents led to corruption charges for Gov. Bob McDonnell, whose conviction the Supreme Court overturned Monday. Republicans could also use the records to portray Kaine as part of the self-dealing establishment in a cycle animated by hostility toward the political class.

Kaine’s staff and other defenders are quick to note that his gifts did not contain any suggestion of a quid pro quo trade for official favors — a major difference from the McDonnell case, and the key difference between an act of friendship and an act of corruption. And Kaine’s long career in Virginia politics, capped by a stint as chairman of the Democratic National Committee, contained no allegations of corruption.

grandchildren. Bill told her he wanted a private word because they hadn't exchanged grandchildren stories lately. Even the most superficial of the MSM isn't buying this.

Is Lynch a close personal friend? (well she is now).

Who spends 30 minutes in private with 'chit chat'? Deliberately.

and Bill talked about the FBI investigations but only about Gold and grandchildren.

Which immediately calls to mind the old mafia joke, "Those are some nice grandchildren there Loretta, what a shame if something was to happen to them."

How could Bill not have anticipated this? Maybe its time for him to primarily spend more time with the grandchildren rather than allow him to roam about causing trouble like this.

In 1999, Bill nominated Loretta to serve as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District in New York, jump-starting her career trajectory. Like so many other people beholden to Bill for "favors", he made her career and she's gotta feel some sense of loyalty and gratitude to him. Even if they just engaged in chit-chat over friends and family for thirty minutes while their jets spewed carbon into the atmosphere, he reminded her how much "the public and personal" were intertwined. Lynch's promise to follow the recommendations of the FBI regarding Clinton's emails are about as truthful as Obama's promise that Clinton didn't break any laws.
